“When English shoegaze legends Slowdive reunited in 2014, it marked Rachel Goswell’s first live performances since a viral ear infection called labyrinthitis sidelined her from Slowdive offshoot Mojave 3 in 2006. Her return to the stage was exhilarating, and now Goswell is on to her next milestone: releasing her first recordings since her unplanned retirement from music a decade ago. What’s more, she’s doing it in an entirely new environment, teaming with Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite, Editors’ Justin Lockey, and his brother James Lockey under the name Minor Victories. They have a self-titled album out next month on Fat Possum, and lord is it good.” – Stereogum
